Jimmy Kimmel Works In A Donald Trump Jab During Joke About Luigi Mangione
HuffPost
The talk show host went there in a monologue that was actually light on political humor.
Jimmy Kimmel piled on to America’s weird obsession with Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The talk show host cracked a joke about his arrest and managed to squeeze in President-elect Donald Trump for the punchline. (Watch the video below.)
In one of the odder two-fers on late night television, Kimmel began: “And then we have America’s most unseemly new sex symbol ― murder suspect Luigi Mangione, who was arrested after being recognized at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, hash brown in hand.”
“They caught him brown-handed, not red handed, kind of a golden brown greasy handed,” the host continued. “It’s so crazy to think that Donald Trump working the french fry machine was only the second weirdest thing to happen at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania this year.”
Trump pulled the publicity stunt in October after he repeatedly accused Vice President Kamala Harris of lying about her stint at McDonald’s in college.
The once and future president truly dislikes Kimmel and his Truth Social team even legally threatened the comedian recently.
